Its nice to see another from the VW crowd over here. You must of had Brock B1's i'm hoping at least. I had a 20th AE with a jetta front end, boser hood on 19" BBS CH's that were hella flush and tucking tire.
I have coilovers on my Spec B now, just need to figure out a wheel setup that I like, and then I can roll the fenders and go down another inch or so past the already almost two i'm down now. Gotta love that stanced look. And the grids look great on your car. But I do agree with you, coilovers a must.
And I have BC coilovers and absolutely love them. If you wanted an opinion for a coilover setup.
